it's the 15th anniversary of "Sideways."

-Yes, sir. -Is that?

-Yeah. -It seems like it

was just yesterday. -I know, right?

Isn't that weird? It feels like it just came out.

-What a great film. I loved it. I saw it in the theater.

-Yeah. -And applause brakes

in the middle of the film. -Really? Wow!

-Yeah. -And I'll never forget that.

-Well, that's beautiful. -I always love when there's

a good moment when you're, like, clapping and --

-Absolutely, yeah. It's crazy to me, though.

It feels like it --

-They're making it into a musical.

[ Laughter ] -Really?!

-Yeah. -Well, clearly I can do that.

[ Laughter ]

-I would work backstage. -I found the "Wizard of Oz."

-Right, you have to be backstage the whole time.

[ Laughter ]

And I'm, just going to be, like, "What are the -- really?"

[ Laughter ] -I think so.

It's going to Broadway, so I'm assuming musical.

-Oh, wow. -But, I mean, why would they --

-Well, how come I didn't get a phone call?

That's interesting. [ Laughter ]

That's interesting to me. -Yeah, that is interesting.

-And so the songs are going to be, like, what?

It's gonna be -- a guy who's going to be like --

♪ I ain't ordering no [bleep] merlot ♪

[ Laughter ]

♪ I'm not doing it ♪

♪ I'm not doing it! ♪

-♪ I'm leaving, I'm leaving ♪ -♪ Oh, I'm leaving ♪

♪ Anybody orders [bleep] merlot ♪

[ Laughter ]

-That would bring the house down.

-That would bring the house down.

-I would love that. -They're gonna miss out.

They're gonna miss out. -Let's talk about "Lodge 49."

-Okay. -Because that's the reason

you're here. -Yes, sir.

-I will say, if you -- it's a 100% fresh

from the website "Rotten Tomatoes."

-Yes, it is. People have loved it.

-Yes. -The critics love it.

People love watching -- -100% fresh.

-I know 100% fresh. [ Cheers and applause ]

-That's true. -It's a really amazing show.

-What is it about? -It's beautifully made show.

It's a tricky show to describe. -Okay.

-It's about a group of people who all are part

of a kind of secret society, like, the Masons.

But it's really not all that secret.

It's kind of ragtag.

And, uh, they just kind of

hold their [bleep] together basically...

-Yeah. -...is what this show is about.

And it's a lot of fun. And it's a beautiful show.

It's very funny. It's kind of weird.

It's very accessible. It's a lovely, lovely show.

-And you produce it -- -I executive produce it, yeah.

-Do you make an appearance? -I, well -- Well, I played --

[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, thank you.

-Big fans of producers. -Big fans of producers.

-They love producers. -Yeah.

I had a role in the first season, but you never saw me.

I was a voice on an audio book.

And now the character I play appears.

And he's a very bizarre, mysterious guy.

And so I can't really reveal too much about it.

'Cause you don't want to ruin it for the fans.

-Do you wear a scarf? -Kind of, kind of, yes.

-Yes? -He kind of does wear a scarf.

-See? I'm already picturing the guy.

-Yes, he's that kind of guy. -I can't wait to see him.

-It's a lovely show. -I want to show a clip.

Do you want to set up this clip? -Yeah, it's pretty simple.

It's just two of the main guys in the show who are a big,

big part of the launch and they kind of save it

by trying to go to Mexico. -Uh-huh.

-And they're talking about their philosophy of life.

-Here's a look at an upcoming episode of "Lodge 49."

Take a look at this.

-We should go to Mexico.

♪♪

-What?

-It's all zugzwang.

Life is one big zugzwang.

-It doesn't matter what we do.

We're going to lose anyway.

[ Chuckles ] You know what?

It's beautiful.

Guys like us, it doesn't matter

if we make the smart choice or the stupid choice.

We wind up worse off anyway.

So we may as well just --

-Make a stupid choice! -Yeah!

-Yeah! -Embrace the zugzwang, baby!

-Yeah!

[ Laughter ]

-I love that. -It's great.

-I need a new show. That's my show.

-It's a good show, man. -"Lodge 49."

Paul Giamatti, everyone! [ Cheers and applause ]
